Please see this important message from Lee County Sheriffs Office:

“ Unlicensed Contracting is a Felony During The Existence of a State of Emergency, FSS 489.127(2)(c)

To all the residents of Cape Coral & Lee County:

As we begin the recovery process from Hurricane Ian, now is the time to be vigilant of who you hire to repair your home.

With the amount of damage Hurricane Ian has done to our area, this is an opportunity for unlicensed contractors to come into the area and take advantage of our residents. Now there are many licensed and reputable contractors coming into our area to assist with damage repairs but please take the time to follow these few tips before you make your decision to hire a contractor.

1. If the price is too good too be true then proceed with caution.

2. If they inform you that you do not need a permit then proceed with caution. The CCCIA is currently working with city officials on implementing an emergency permitting process as we did in Hurricane Irma.

3. NEVER pay the full amount up front with the unlicensed contractor telling you that I can give you a "better deal" if you pay up front.

4. Ask to see their license. Contractors have worked hard to obtain their licenses and hold proper workman’s comp and liability insurance. They will not have a problem showing you their credentials.

These next few weeks are going to be difficult for our city as we start to rebuild and the CCCIA wants to make sure that our residents are in the know and properly taken care of.

Please report any suspected unlicensed contractors to the following locations:

Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation at https://www.myfloridalicense.com/wl11.asp

Complaints against State Certified Contractors should be filed with the Department of Business and Professional Regulation. You can call the Unlicensed Activity Hotline at 1-866-532-1440”

Great reporting by Stassy Olmos on the tactics of public adjusters and ongoing contractor fraud. These issues challenge an already fragile Florida insurance market.
Interviewed:
• Ron Scalzo, COO, Flagler Insurance
• Jimmy Patronis, Florida’s Chief Financial Officer
• Mark Friedlander, Insurance Information Institute
• Kyle Ulrich, President and CEO for Florida Association of Insurance Agents (FAIA)

Homeowners in neighborhoods hit by Hurricane Ian say hundreds of publics adjusters, contractors are canvassing their streets, asking to help with insurance claims.

Please read this important message below from the Cape Coral Fire Department.

"Due to the large amount of horticulture debris and the current strain on emergency services crews, the City of Cape Coral is issuing a burn ban, effective today, October 6. This will limit fire hazards within the City to protect the health, safety, and welfare of our residents. Recreational burns including fire pits, campfires, and the burning of debris are not permitted. Fires solely for cooking purposes where the fire, flames, and heat generated are fully contained within the confines of the device being used (i.e. grill) are still allowed.

The burn ban shall be in effect until the conditions of the Hurricane Ian recovery improve."
